We add our numbers in the Base 10 decimal system ... but you can also add using different bases, eg base 5, base 3, base 8.
Watch the video below Discuss when you think a different base might be used (may need to research ...) Then write out the following equations to give to your buddy to answer: (do not use the same numbers as the man used in the video)
These boys were able to find a solution to this problem confidently by studying the question carefully, step by step.
Well done!
We looked at strip graphs and made one up, and looked briefly at dot plots.
Now we are moving into our group work for addition and subtraction strategies.
Term One, Week 6
We looked at Grouped Data and the reasons why it is an efficient way of recording / analysing data.
Census data is often grouped to enable large populations to be 'grouped' into various age groups to make strategic decisions.
We took an example of the number of writing tools in our pencil cases for all students in our maths class.
We can quickly and easily see that 8 students had 5 to 9 pencils, whilst only 3 people had 20 to 24 pencils.
Term One, Week 5
We are continuing to build our knowledge of graphs and understanding how data can be deceiving the way it is displayed. Pie graphs can be misleading because they often use percentages to display data. Percentages are not actual numbers so graphs must be read carefully so that we understand the information that is being provided.
We have used the Data Detective Cycle to gather data about the most favourite movie types in our classroom. We have learned how to calculate percentages and then we are producing our own pie graphs based on the information we have calculated.
Term One, Week 4
We are studying statistics. We have looked at a variety of graphs used by companies and discussed the following:
•Who do you think has done the research for/carried out the investigation? •Who do you think will benefit from the results of this investigation? •Is it clear to you what the purpose of the investigation is? •What do you like about the way the information is presented? •Does it help you in any way to understand the information better? •Could it have been presented in a different way to help the audience understand the findings better? •Is there any important information missing that needs to be added?
From this information of birth dates from our class, we were able to construct stem and leaf graphs.
We know that the highest number can be 31 and the lowest number can be 1.
Stem and leaf graphs: •Summarise the shape of a set of data •Provide detail of individual values •Data is arranged by place value •Digits in largest place – stem •Digits in smallest place – leaves •Great organisers for large amounts of information

Hello everyone and welcome to the Totara Room Maths Page.
We will now be using Maths Buddy instead of Mathletics.
It's an excellent educational website that covers the mathematics curriculum.
It even has a video tutorial for every mathematical concept which is excellent for independent learning, catching up on work or recapping an idea to ensure it is mastered.
We hope that your child gets a great deal of learning and satisfaction from Maths Buddy.
